Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

Up to my ears

In bitter tears

Can't believe I've sunk this low

As I walk the plankton

Inner sanctum

Got outta dodge

Sailed on a bon-less bon voyage

You said North I headed South

Tossed overboard

Good Lord, that's a really large mouth

Chorus

I'm sleeping with fishes here

In the belly of the whale

I'm highly nutritious here

In the belly of the whale

Bad food, lousy atmosphere

I don't wanna bellyache

How long is this gonna take

Woke up this morning kinda blue

Thinking through that age-old question

How to exit a whale's digestion

It might behoove me to be heaved

Head out like a human comet

Chorus

I'm sleeping with fishes here

In the belly of the whale

I'm highly nutritious here

In the belly of the whale

I'm ready to reappear

I don't wanna bellyache

Lord, how long's this gonna take

End times they come rolling around

Enzymes they come breaking us down to the core

The good Lord grants we all get a second chance

Chorus

I'm one of the dishes here

In the belly of the whale

They say I'm delicious here

In the belly of the whale

Lord, please make him chuck me out

It's a gut call

in the belly of the whale

I'm in the belly of the whale

In the belly of the whale

I'm in the belly

In the belly of the whale

I'm in the belly of the whale

In the belly of the whale

I'm in the belly

In the belly of the whale

In an underwater jail

It's a tight squeeze

It's a-gettin' to me

But it's roomier than the tail

Hey, sailor

Got my flow free

Like a salmon to the sea

From the L.A. Symphony

I'm a paddleboat

Paddlin' in their wake

A fake free-styler

But my unemployment pays

I'm avoiding cliches

Like "whale of a tale" stale

Or "you can't keep

A good man down,"

'Cause you can

And I've been there man

But I've been expectorated

I'm elated

I'm free

Like Willie

Happy day

Oops that's a bit of a cliche

Now the guitar plays this:

While they repeat the same line:

"In the belly of the whale"
